Rivermist residents say developer isn't doing enough
A bizarre sight out on the Northwest side Sunday afternoon. Residents of The Hills of Rivermist subdivision stood next to a giant, inflatable pig with a Pulte-Centex banner on its stomach. Residents tell us the pig symbolizes the greed they say the builder is showing. They tell us their homes have decreased in value since a landslide, back in January, that caused most of the neighborhood to be evacuated. "The neighborhood�s been tainted, and instead of trying to do the right thing and eliminate the problem by getting rid of the hill, Pulte-Centex just wants to put up another wall and sell those homes back to other people," says Rivermist homeowner Chuck Cervantes. |

Centex releases new wall design
Centex Homes is hoping the third time's the charm. This week it produced a preliminary design concept for a new retaining wall to replace one that collapsed in January in a Northwest Side neighborhood â which in 2007 replaced one that was not âperforming to expectations.â But homeowners say they are weary after two months of stress and uncertainty and are still on the fence about whether to trust that this latest fix will last. Becker said. âIt's not the house and the wall I'm worried about. It's the land that they built it on. What if 10 or 20 years from now something happens? What's to keep the land from moving again?â Residents expect to have a meeting with city officials and Centex on Tuesday.Karen Maxwell, who lives across the street from 20 of the evacuated houses, isn't convinced a new wall is the solution. âThis is going to be the third wall, and we're supposed to believe them again?â |
